Have you read any of the KB articles on this error? Most seem to think it's related to improrer configuration of the User Shell Folders...like if you redirect your My Documents to another drive and such.

Are you on any kinda network? Could be a bunch of things...you might wanna check the NTFS file permissions as well, and see if they are any restrictions to the folder. Also, what kind of user is installing this? Admin or Regular?

Here's a few links I got from google:

Are you running Norton Antivirus 2003?

Well then I'm all out...other than fubar'd file permissions, I've never seen anything like that.
